Look, everything about the entire COVID pandemic completely sucks. Though ViroMusic is at least making it a little more tolerable. ViroMusic has taken the RNA sequence of COVID-19 and turned it into music, and it's pretty relaxing! The music is available as a series of NFTs, though the project is streaming a handful of them below for free on YouTube.
"ViroMusic is a collection of songs made using the code inside the Coronavirus," said ViroMusic. "All the notes in the melody are a direct translation of the RNA code in the virus. The songs were made using a process called DNA Sonification, where every letter of the code is turned into a musical note. We wrote an algorithm to search through the code in the Coronavirus to find sections that sound musical, then we added human-played accompaniment on top of the viral melody (Cello, guitar, etc)."
If you're into it, you can check out the NFTs themselves here.
